AGI and ACT Maps

As expected, a higher income from a particular county does result in a lower percentage of students that qualify as “Economically Disadvantaged” - students that qualified for free or reduced lunches.

As you can see, Williamson County is highlighted with having the highest average AGI per tax return filing, at $106,874. Other counties highlighted appear to be located near 3 other major cities - Knoxville, Memphis, Chattanooga.

Economically Disadvantaged

The Economically disavantaged areas don’t appear to be as drastically separated. It seems the economically dxisadvantaged county shading is more gradual as you get further from the major cities. This is not absolute, as Davidson County / Nashville, falls in the much darker region having 75% economically disadvantaged.

Average ACT Composite Scores

With the average ACT composite scores by county, Williamson County is again highlighted and has the highest scores, with an average of 23.8. Unlike the other maps, scores do not appear to have a pattern or relationship across the state or in relation to the 4 major cities.
